    The food was absolutely outstanding. We indulged in the Lamb Chops, Sea Bass, Spanakopita, and Crab Cakes. The lamb chops were cooked to perfection, bursting with rich, savory flavor. The Sea Bass was incredibly tender, enveloped in a delicate tomato and onion sauce that elevated the dish beautifully. The Spanakopita was wrapped in a perfectly crisp, flaky crust and was utterly delicious. The Crab Cakes were exceptional, with a delightful balance of flavor and texture. The service was top-notch; the staff demonstrated a deep knowledge of the menu and could expertly describe each dish with enthusiasm. However, our only minor concern was that the staff seemed to hover a bit too closely, almost watching our every move. While we truly appreciated their attentiveness, it did create a slightly uncomfortable and overly attentive atmosphere. Be aware that there is not a lot of vegetarian options.

    Again, no disappointment. Couldn't get in for New Year's Eve. However, I was there Friday and had the most amazing dinner and drinks. Not to mention awesome customer service and ambience. I mentioned this before, their cuisine is the closest I can be to the Amalfi coast. Molto bene!!!

    This is a go-to for me and my family. The kids love the fresh made guacamole and the elotes. The birria tacos are downright amazing, and a staple every time we come. Never a disappointing experience for us, looking forward to our next visit!
